National Teach-In on Iraq: How Can We End This War?
Two years after the US invasion of Iraq, the tragedy of war continues and the US has no plan for bringing the troops home. The death toll soars on all sides, especially among civilians. The cost of the war mounts daily as vital social programs are being cut at home. But many questions remain: Did the January 2005 elections improve the situation in Iraq? Is the US troop presence in Iraq helping stabilize the country, or is it at the root of Iraq's deadly violence? And what are the true costs of the war at home? Its impact on military families and returning veterans, its $200+ billion price tag, and the legacy of occupation on the people of Iraq?
Join this teach-in on Thursday, March 24, from 7 to 10 p.m., at the George Washington University (805 21st St. NW, Jack Morton Auditorium, Media and Public Affairs Building; Foggy Bottom/GWU Metro). For more information, contact 202/234-9382, ext. 238, or amy@ips-dc.org.
